Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Goes Camping
1st Panel Member: Sorry we're late. Have you been waiting long?
Adrian Monk: 11 years. [smiles]
1st Panel Member: Are you all right?
Adrian Monk: Yes, sir. I'm just smiling.
1st Panel Member: Adrian, I just want to say that we really appreciate the work you've done, unofficially as a consultant over the last eight years. We've been reading your case file and talking with your colleagues. It's a very impressive record.
2nd Panel Member: I worked on the raincoat strangler case. We worked that case for nine months without a lead. I still don't know how you did it.
Adrian Monk: I got lucky. Actually, it was more than just luck. I talked to the suspect, and I noticed there were a few discrepancies in his alibi.
2nd Panel Member: It was quite impressive. It was dazzling, actually.
Adrian Monk: Impressive, dazzling, I'll take either one.

Quote from Lieutenant Disher
Adrian Monk: Wait a minute. P-300? Isn't that a fatality?
Lieutenant Disher: It was pretty ugly. The driver hit a tractor trailer head-on. He and his wife were both DOA.
Adrian Monk: And this was the car that had the bumper sticker? "Happiness is a choice."
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, that's right. Well, actually it was on fire when I got there, so it was hard to read.
Adrian Monk: And this didn't deter you or make you think twice?
Lieutenant Disher: I mean, it was an epiphany, Monk. I mean, you can't just choose where you get it. I mean, it could be from a guru on a mountaintop or it could be from a bumper sticker on a burning Subaru.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Adrian Monk: Brian caught the fish. Possession is nine tenths of the law. That's the rule. In fact, when you're in the woods, it's ten tenths.
Nicky Phillips: Ten tenths? That doesn't sound right.
Adrian Monk: Yeah, rules don't have to sound right. That's another rule.
Quote from Adrian Monk
Brian Willis: What are we gonna do? He doesn't like the fish. He's gonna kill us! Do something.
Adrian Monk: [calmly] It's OK. It's OK. I'm very calm. We're very calm. Look how calm we are.
Brian Willis: He likes it. It's working. Keep talking, keep talking.
Adrian Monk: What do I say?
Brian Willis: I don't know. Tell him a story.
Adrian Monk: What? What story?
Brian Willis: It doesn't matter! He's a bear!
Adrian Monk: Okay. You're probably wondering what we're doing here. Here's what happened. See, an armored car was robbed, and the guard was killed, and the police recovered some shell casings from the crime scene. And if they could match them to the casings found in that clearing, they'd have an airtight case. [bear growls] Exactly. And those two men they weren't hunters, they were killers. They must've been target practicing up here, and someone must've spotted them. Maybe a park ranger. That's why they came back. 'cause they knew that those shell casings could tie them to the crime scene. [bear goes away]
Brian Willis: I guess it got bored. Nice work.
Adrian Monk: It's what I do.
